The Cimmerians Purse

I've had this for a while now, but couldn't post about it until the book actually came out, and I wasn't spoiling. Sitting on it was SO hard! lol! I can't wait to read the final issue

That's not his signature, and... and he was loose as a goose back in 77... which that drawing is not. that was drawn nervously.

If that's a Wrightson... I'll eat Swedish Pee Shark with a smile.

love the Krenkel pieces!

Thanks for that response. Makes sense, now that it's described that way. I'm restarting the show currently. So, i'll be keeping an eye out for the scene. If anyone is into Space Trains and life lessons about what's really important, and what is not... this really is a great series. It is subtitled, not dubbed. I know for some thats a turn off, but for others thats a feature. I love it!

This isn't comic art specifically but i think it's interesting, and pertinent, because it's Heritage. I was looking for Galaxy Express 999 animation cells this morning, and came across this previous sale listed on heritage... it's awful, and in my humble opinion it looks like a fake. maybe this was such a minor sale for them that they just didnt care? but it seems pretty obvious... i can draw a better Maetel than that... I've included an image of one of the DVD covers as reference image. https://comics.ha.com/itm/animation-art/production-cel/galaxy-express-999-maetel-and-tetsuro-production-cel-setup-with-background-animation-art-toei-animation-1981-/a/121429-13665.s

Gawd that wolverine is awful!

Velvet Buzzsaw is a horror movie set in the world of mega art collectors. pretty recent movie with Jake Gilllenhaal (spelling?) and Rene Russo. The bad behavior in the movie is pretty priceless! Was produced / is available on Netflix.

extra points for it being a corona virus!

My only "infected" art... since everyone in WD is walking around with the disease in a dormant phase until they are killed. the pages below are hershal getting offed / and then the woman realizing she killed lori and the baby puts her gun to govs mouth... which ultimately ends him.

you SICK beautiful bastards!

Congrats Ron!!!!!!! Thats awesome! Sook draws a fine line indeed! ~Keith

Spoiler Alert! man... the page with the mother... fantastic!

absolutely lovely!

just to be clear though... as was stated in the post that Twanj linked... Invaluable isnt the auction house, but they are a service that allows other smaller auction houses to sell online... think of them like ebay, they are not actually the seller. Relic Vintage Incorporated is the seller in this case. For instance, i believe that Invaluable is the service that Profiles uses when they have an auction / it was the service they used to enable online bidding for the Wrightson Frankenstein plate in December. The person who started this thread is also the same person who started the original one, and again are calling out Invaluable, the service, not Relic Vintage Inc the actual seller.

well look on the bright side... you still have a super sweet pentagram tat on your chest! and i'm hoping you kept that super sweet (what do you call a super thin mutton chop?) ___________________ (fill in the blank! )

that doesnt sound suspicious at all... nope, not one bit...

I like that!

i do think it's one of the most memorable of the bunch, for sure. And it's been used in other books, like creepy presents: bernie wrightson for instance, where it's also used as end papers.

oh wow! now that is interesting!

that seller has art auction after art auction, and a whole line up of piccassos, basquiats, etc etc in this current one, and in another upcoming... i dont know how you have that much art coming through, and not have some eye for spotting a fake. it appears to me at least... if we assume best intent... that the seller doesnt particularly care and is willing to live the mantra "let the buyer beware" if that qualifies as an "honest mistake" then sure, but representing yourself as a high dollar collectable dealer (which they certainly are if you look at all of the auctions that they have had in the past 12 months, and will have in the next)... i just expect more. For instance you wouldn't expect Mike Burkey to make that mistake, and certainly not on 3 pieces at the same time...

It's a site that smaller auction houses can use as a bidding platform. So, it's not an auction house per say, but it's a service. I think Profiles uses them if i'm not mistaken.

correct, the burden of proof should lie on the seller in this case... i will say that in general Steve Ditko was known to refuse doing doodles, and he would especially refuse doodles of anything related to his time at Marvel... so the BURDEN should be pretty BIG.

ok i thought that I was sharing the worse of the two "Steve Ditko Spider Man doodles" from the auction... I was wrong this one is much worse! At least somebody tried to sign the first one as Steve... this is Sam *garbled reading last name <cough>* Sam Retco? ...if anyone is looking for Ditko Spidey drawings this good... i can totally draw a spiderman this good. 1,500

Naw bro Steve D. Itko totally drew that.
